What is Pancreatic Cancer?

Pancreatic cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the pancreas, the organ behind your stomach that helps with digestion and blood sugar control.

Most cases begin in the exocrine cells (adenocarcinoma), responsible for producing digestive enzymes. It’s known as the “silent killer” for progressing silently, so awareness and early diagnosis are crucial.

    FAQS

    Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

    Can pancreatic cancer be cured if caught early?

    Yes, early-stage pancreatic cancer that hasn’t spread and is surgically removed can lead to long-term survival. The earlier it’s found, the better the outcomes.

    What's behind most pancreatic cancer cases?

    There is no single reason, but several factors play a role behind pancreatic cancer, including smoking, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, diabetes, and family history.

    How is pancreatic cancer diagnosed?

    Through imaging tests like CT, MRI, EUS, and tumour marker blood tests (like CA 19-9), often followed by a biopsy.

    When should someone see a pancreas cancer specialist?

    If you’ve had ongoing digestive issues, unexplained fatigue, yellowing of the eyes, or weight loss without trying, get your health evaluated.

    Is the pancreatic cancer survival rate really that low?

    Unfortunately, yes. It’s mainly because it’s often detected late. However, early diagnosis and surgery can significantly increase survival chances.
